Belle de Jour

At the tender age of 22, Camilla Belle has already driven a generation of young women to tears. Not with her acting, but rather with her involvement in an alleged offscreen love triangle, one spanning continents and dimensions! While dating a Jonas brother, Camilla was photographed leaving an L.A. café with Twilight vampire Robert Pattinson. Thumbs were broken Twittering the news.

Today, when asked about the purported affair, all she’ll offer is, “I know what I’m doing.” Say this for the girl: She knows how to keep us interested—and we’re not the only ones. Bruce Willis wants her for his directorial debut. Roland Emmerich was so smitten, he dressed her in a fur bikini for his prehistoric epic, 10,000 BC. (“We shot in the mountains,” Camilla says. “We were given warm packs to stick in our…” We know where, thanks.) And now, after deferring admission to Columbia University, she’s back with Push, an X-Men/Matrix hybrid about superhumans among us. Camilla admits she didn’t really understand the script and might have even passed if the project weren’t shooting in Hong Kong. The only downside to her Asian travels? The gnarly street food. “I was working, and I didn’t want to take a chance of getting sick.” Seriously? “They eat pigeon.”

Conservative in her culinary choices, maybe. But (thankfully) when romance is involved, she draws on her mother’s passionate Latin heritage. “Brazilian men are comfortable with their sexuality,” Camilla says. “With sensuality.” And how about vampires? “I’m not saying anything else about that.”
